I just read an article on teenagers getting caught for pictures on facebook of a drinking party. Most of them got consequences from something they did over the summer. I personally think its dumb. It is none of the schools buisness. It has no effect on the school what so ever. Why should they get in trouble for something they did months ago. The school is not their parents, they should let the consequences be held to the parental guardian or something.

Left to the parents of the teenagers and stayed out of their personal life
What do you feel will be the future of rights in today's digital age?
They would be more protective of the things we do on digital things
What rights do you have inside of school?
None.
What rights do you have outside of school?
Should have the same

The article that we had to read today was given to us by the teacher. It was titled, Wisconsin Power Play. Honestly, I didnt understand or take in one bit of it. I had little/no interest in that article. Nothing stuck out to me and nothing made sense.

Today I read an article on Lady Gaga and her suprising outfit that she wore on the red carpet. I cant really say she wore something because she was in something. She traveled down the red carpet in a giant egg. The question is."Is Lady Gaga given permission to be unique and different because she's famous, or is she famous because she's unique and different?" Lady Gaga continues to suprise us with her "different" types of outfits.

I read the article about Ronaldo retiring from soccer because of injury. He feels as if he cant meet the demands for the team anymore. I am personally upset about this because he is one of my favorite players of all time next to David Beckham. He leaves as ahree-timer FIFA player of the year and the top goal scorer in World Cup history.

How is the Internet impacting broadcast journalism?
I read an article on the death of the worlds oldest person. She recently died at the age of 114.
Eunice Sanborn of Jacksonville, Texas, died quietly in her home on Monday, the research group said. Her birth date was the date of July 20, 1895. She has been married 3 times in her life and she still would joke about finding a 4th husband. She had a daughter, but she died when she was ninety. I don't know how I would feel about the fact that my daughter would die before me because of age. That just sounds wrong.

Rules on Cameras in Delivery Rooms Stir Passions

The article I read was about when someone in the delivery is about to give birth or after birth if friends or relatives are aloud to take photographers.  There were mixed emotions on what the different hospitals thought about this. Many of them dissagreed with them and thought that there should be no photography in the delivery room due to the fact of editing the pictures and making it look like something it's not. I believe that it is perfect acceptable to allow camereas in the delivery room because who wouldnt want to capture the first moments of their baby's life. Its a memorable moment that is worth recording.
